I thought I was done with this show, but they had me at "Bratva!"

By Bones' century, casual 1960s sexism will be ancient wisdom.

Followed by Man-Thing

That would make perfect sense if Dynamite Joe Biden reads Archie. "That Reggie is such a fuckin tool, man. He reminds me of this one guy I knew when I
was working at the car wash back in '82…"

It's an easy distinction to forget (and the Angels stuff certainly doesn't help), but there's a difference between laughing at Corey Feldman's terrible music, and laughing at Corey Feldman because Hollywood shat him out before he was old enough to drive.

The original NES game's booklet had some really nice Ghibli-ish illustrations. I remember wondering as a kid if Zelda was based on an animated movie.

I still can never stop myself from saying "Leeveers, aaaaaah!" when those little bastards start coming up out of the ground.

You underestimate the value of your BBQ. Plus, you now have Missouri's only NFL team, a World Series win, and the corresponding envy of your friends on the other end of the state.

Pretty much, though it's very possible that TR has punched his way out by now.

At least tell me that Bull lives above a china shop.

Pretty much. I (mostly) got the hang of it by the end, but that is just a ridiculous number of characters. There's a reason why they call it the Legion.

The Curse, just based on the title and the ending of Great Darkness Saga, sounds intriguing, but I can't find a copy in any local libraries. This is why I really wish there was a DC equivalent of Marvel Unlimited.

Exactly. I'm not sure who would look at She-Hulk and think "You know what this needs? To be more like Regular Hulk."

More to the point, who has heard of High Noon but not seen it? I can't imagine anyone who actually watched it thinking this was a good idea.

The "making a new family" aspect of it, I think, is a huge part of it, and highly overlooked. Everyone thinks of him as a brooding loner, but being a team player and/or mentor is pretty fundamental to the character. He was a lonely, traumatized kid who's now been a father figure to at least half a dozen other…

That was the main reason I picked it up, actually: I'd always heard it was one of the best non-Kirby Darkseid/New Gods stories.

It definitely throws you in the deep end, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but it does point out a lot of the datedness. But you're right, I can't complain too much about a book that looks like this. Keith Giffen knocked it out of the park on this one.

Yeah, that is pretty clear that he didn't expect it to be collected, from how he just sort of randomly bounces from villains of the month to multiple love triangles… to Karate Kid and Projectra on her home planet… to Chameleon Boy leading a suicide mission to a frozen asteroid for no particular reason… to whatever the…

I haven't had time to visit the LCS in a few weeks, but I came across Legion of Superheroes: The Great Darkness Saga at the library recently. I'm a little over halfway through (Just up to the start of the Darkness Saga itself), and it's getting better, but the first half-dozen issues were ok at best. Part of it…

Ooh, thanks for the reminder.
